Read an article about this last night. Super cool story.

I watched that video the other day. Absolutely fantastic story. The sound of that car rattling the garage when they get it running again is insane

One of my favorite muscle cars from back in the day.

Watching the video right now. It’s a real cool story.

That's a really great story something you don't see everyday.

Just finished watching before I logged in lol, great story.
I loved the way his old friend talked about the car.

Long ass video.

But worth the view, Brad.

Even back then, Chrysler led the pack with spot on marketing. I had to laugh at them cancelling the Panther Pink paint because an exec wouldn't have a Dodge dressed in pink. I remember that Dodge Challenger TV commercial.

Chrysler did definitely make it easier for the consumer to buy a big block bad ass muscle car. No holds barred then. No holds barred today.

I love watching videos like this that highlight legendary racers and legendary muscle cars. The Black Ghost.....legendary driver, legendary car.

The other reason why I loved this story was here was a kid who grew up in a not so good Detroit neighborhood where crime and drugs prevailed. But he stayed away from that stuff, as did his buddies. He did 3 years of ROTC in high school. He excelled as a paratrooper. He excelled as a cop after. He never complained about where he came from. No complaining! No blaming! Just made right decisions and succeeded. Quite a man! Very different from the complaining and blaming folks we see today.

Thanks for the vid. I remember seeing this car at the muscle car/corvette nats and hearing the story. It seemed like everyone had heard of this car.

 

[VegasMichael]

Good video. Watched the whole thing. The owner was definitely an interesting man.

 

[tones_RS3]

Finally watched the video.
Great story and even greater car!!

Awesome video and story, thanks for posting!

I’m sorry. A stock ass challenger isn't the king of shit on some bullshit 70’s tires. I stoped at the “ grab the $100 bill”. Must have had the 3/4 race cam and jumped coke bottles too.

Those cars are slow as shit. 13’s at best.

Pretty interesting, watched the whole thing. Glad I did, nice find!

I've watched this twice now after initially not wanting to give it a chance and this video is well worth the watch for those on the fence.

 

[Shadow Grey 03]

Yep. Well worth it. Especially for those of us trying to pass down car knowledge to our own kids now.
